Not that kind of girl

July 16, 2013

The Oregon coast,
she’s not about to give it away
for free.
She’s read The Rules, and not in an ironic way.
She hides, first of all,
and lies about parking.
She kicks sand in your eyes
when you nestle in too close.
And then, after all that,
she tries to steal your new
rainbow shimmer flip-flops.
She’s holding out for
the real thing.
Good thing I’ve got
a ring in my pocket.
She’ll be mine yet.
